    Quick detach rings usable for under $60?

    I almost never shoot my hunting rifle, a stainless Remington 700 in .308. In a moment of impulsiveness, I went ahead and bought a proper optic for it, a Vortex Viper 2-7x32. Now I'm looking for a new set of rings. Since I rarely shoot it, I considered going the detachable route so that I...

    End of C&R Surplus Era?

    I'm curious if folks think we are rapidly approaching the end of new-to-market surplus firearms? As I renew my C&R FFL, it seems C&R eligible firearms have been increasing in cost just like the rest of the market. Excitement over the newly found M1s and Garands seems to be over. Given...

    Anyone have a lead on where to find a pair of PINK CZ 75b grips? I introduced a co-worker and his wife to shooting a while back and they're now proud CZ & Glock owners. His wife wants some pink grips for her stainless CZ 75b but we didn't know where to find them. I've seen plenty of great...

    I got the following from Brownell's today, I've had a Ciener conversion on backorder for nearly two months. Appears CMMG will produce a conversion that will ship in it's place. I love my CMMG AR so I have high hopes of their upcoming conversion kit and their customer service has to beat the...

    Do the latest Ruger Mk III 22/45 magazines work in the old Mk II 22/45's? I know the reverse shouldn't work because of the mag safety feature on the Mk IIIs. Thanks.

    Any experienced opinions on what minimum features & size are needed for a useful bench vise? I have a steel workbench in the garage that's used for all tasks. A Dillon 550b press takes up the right side, so I'm looking for a small bench vise for general odd jobs. Re-installing a muzzle...

    CZ-75 Disassembly & mainspring replacement help

    Does anyone have a helpful link for CZ-75 disassembly? I've found step by step instructions in the past for my MKII and 1911s which were really helpful in getting it right the first time. Curious if anyone has a similar, photo by photo link for the CZ. I'm looking to switch the mainspring...

    IZH-46m Grip sanding / modification advice?

    I recently acquired a new Baikal IZH-46m air pistol. The stock trigger is amazing out of the box but the grip is as awful as expected. Does anyone have some photos or advice on sanding it down to be more ergonomic? I will not spend another $160 on the after-market replacements available...

    Chrono really necessary to new pistol reloader?

    I'm preparing to start reloading and am curious how necessary a Chronograph is in the process. I'll be reloading pistol cartridges for IDPA, no big matches so I'm not concerned about missing PF (power factor) by a few FPS. All shooting is usually well within 25yds so accuracy isn't too...

    Ultralight .38spl loads?

    I don't reload. I'm just a young professional with just barely enough time to make it out to the range and IDPA matches. That said, where can I find some very *very* mild recoiling .38spl loads for my 2" S&W 640? I'd like my wife to get some range time with the sw 640 before she takes a...

    Relevant laws on shipping a firearm to manufacturer?

    non-licensee shipping to manufacturer I have a pistol that is in need of warranty service. The customer service rep was less than stellar but simply told me to send it back and that I don't need their FFL. So before I go down to UPS or FEDEX and ship it (declared of course), is it...

    Bank denies loans to Eminent Domain exploiters [Kelo]

    Articles like this make me proud to be a long time BB&T customer. It's nice to see the free market take a stand on issues like Kelo v. City of New London even if it means a bit of missed business opportunities. WASHINGTON — Banks give away millions of dollars in charitable donations and loan...

    [2 ARs in one?] .223 with .22lr or 9mm upper

    I'm just starting to shop for an AR. It'll be my only practical rifle for a while. My primary interest in getting one is for 3gun matches. I really prefer the mid-length rifle and collapsable m4 style stock but understand that the longer .223 barrels are much better suited to matches. No...

    Suggestions for 3gun and IPSC guns

    I've gotten the bug for practical shooting matches after shooting a couple IDPA matches. In central North Carolina we have a respectable number of regular matches for 3gun, IPSC, and IDPA. I'd like some suggestions on rounding out my inventory so that I can compete any weekend in some...
